But yet that is exactly what *is* the problem. HTTP allows headers like
these, and it makes a difference (whether that's a good idea in the

Well, I think there is.
If compatibility to existing code (which doesn't check for null) is the
driver here, then please consider adding a new method such as
"isHeaderPresent(headername)".
